[ale] Coaster Production in Progress

Wed Sep 27 23:37:39 EDT 2000

All I'm trying to do is make CD-Rs from the Red Hat 7.0 ISOs.  I now
have a couple of coasters.

Machine is an Athlon/700; CD-RW is a SCSI Ricoh RW7060S.  md5sum on the
ISO checks out OK.  SCSI adapter is Initio.  First attempt was on an
Imation CD-R at 4x; second attempt was on a Verbatim CD-R at 2x.  Distro
is Mandrake 7.1.  Running as root.  

In both cases, writing begins but ends partway through.

Does anyone see anything obviously wrong or do I need to drill down
through the muck of shadowy SCSI problems?

Output below:
